Use Storytelling to Become a Better Public Speaker

How To Speak So Others Listen

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World

Lost Worlds

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins

Magnetic Communication

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

The Big Bet

"2.5 Billion Heartbeats is not just a leadership book-it is a wake-up call. A reminder that leadership has never been about titles, corner offices, or authority, but about influence, intention, and the posture of our hearts. Every human life is given roughly 2.5 billion heartbeats, and the question this book dares to ask is simple and unsettling: What are you doing with yours? In a world exhausted by pressure, performance, and empty definitions of success, this book challenges us to slow down long enough to remember that "leadership is not what you do to people, but what you awaken within them."

Written for business leaders, parents, spouses, coaches, teachers, and everyday people who shape lives without ever holding a formal title, 2.5 Billion Heartbeats reframes leadership as deeply personal and profoundly human. This is a call to lead at work-but also at home. To understand that "who you are becoming matters more than what you are achieving," and that the way we show up for our families, our teams, and our communities leaves a legacy far beyond numbers or accolades. Through powerful stories, hard truths, and the H.E.A.R.T. leadership model, this book confronts the lie that leadership belongs to a few and boldly declares that "every heartbeat carries influence, and every life leaves a mark."

At its core, this book is an invitation-to live, love, and lead differently. To stop chasing applause and start building trust. To move from burnout to purpose, from control to compassion, from success defined by profit to success defined by people. As the book reminds us, "One day the noise will fade, the titles will disappear, and what will remain is the way you made people feel." 2.5 Billion Heartbeats will challenge you, stir you, and ultimately call you to lead from the heart-starting today, with the life and influence you already have."

2.5 BILLION HEARTBEATS

Crownless Leader: ''How to Influence Without Ego, Command Without Control, and Build Legacy Through Service''
Leadership is often mistaken for titles, crowns, or applause. Crownless Leader redefines it as something deeper: the invisible crown of service. Obinna Okeke shows that true influence is not about ego or dominance but about humility, courage, and stewardship.
This book takes readers on a journey through three timeless stages of leadership:
¿ The Vessel - building inner strength, resilience, and discipline.
¿ The Circle - cultivating trust, belonging, and community.
¿ The Flame - passing values forward, igniting renewal, and leaving a legacy that endures.
Anchored by lessons from leaders across the world Nelson Mandela's reconciliation, Mother Teresa's compassion, Kofi Annan's ethical dialogue, Angela Merkel's consequence mapping and enriched with examples from UK figures such as Winston Churchill's resilience in crisis, but transformative stewardship, Crownless Leader blends storytelling with practical frameworks. Each chapter offers actionable tools, reflection exercises, and reminders that leadership is measured not by applause but by the lives uplifted, the communities healed, and the futures secured.
Readers will learn how to influence without ego, command without control, and build legacy through service. They will discover how to lead in times of crisis, nurture inclusive communities, and embed values that endure across generations.
Whether you are leading a family, a team, or a community, this book equips you to embrace leadership as service. It is a guide for ordinary people who want to make extraordinary impact proving that crowns are not required to lead, and titles are not necessary to inspire.
Lead without crowns. Influence without ego. Command without control. Build legacy through service.

Black Lives

An intimate portrait of James Baldwin, offering a new understanding of his life and works as seen through his close relationships and private life “Baldwin authority Zaborowska’s gracefully impassioned biography. . . . A creatively conceived appreciation for a decorated life and its far-flung influences on race, queer culture, and art.”—Kirkus Reviews &nbsp; James Baldwin (1924–1987) was a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, an influential author, intellectual, and activist who led a celebrated public life—and whose words and image and persona remain current in our culture. Baldwin’s many incarnations—“son of Harlem,” “Black icon,” “great twentieth-century writer,” “race man,” “prophet,” “witness”—have reemerged in the digital age as Baldwin’s work becomes a touchstone for a new generation. It is the private, vulnerable, and messier Baldwin—the man behind the prophet and the online meme—who is the focus of this book. &nbsp; Magdalena J. Zaborowska draws on Baldwin’s archives and material legacy—from his unpublished papers to his books to his house in France—to offer a fresh look at the writer’s understated and obscured private life. Taking a cue from Baldwin’s own love of the blues, Zaborowska presents his biography as a series of tracks on a vinyl record, introducing, developing, and remixing the themes and relationships from his life. She recounts episodes from Baldwin’s troubled childhood, his struggles with sexuality and gender, his intimate relationships, and the overlooked influence of women, Jews, and queers on his writing. This Life Album revolves around Baldwin’s development of a unique worldview, “Black queer humanism,” premised on African diaspora aesthetics, resilience, joy, community, internationalism, activism, and justice.
